Jesus Is Enough

8/10/2013

 
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.  4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.  James 1:2-4
Picture
A pastor was once in downtown Cincinnati when a man came up and asked him for a drink.  He specifically asked for a “pop” or soda; the minister used this opportunity to teach his students that the man thought he wanted soda to drink, but what his body was really craving was water.  He really wanted water, but he didn't know it.

Luke 23:39-43 – Grace For Anyone Desiring Paradise

2/26/2013

 
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.  43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Luke 23:39-43

The thief on the cross came to the end of himself; he knew he was a sinner and needed Christ to save him.

A story is told of a man who was considered a “drunk”; he was always begging for money and hardly ever worked.  He says in his own testimony that drinking would take control of him; he had a family to take care of, but instead he would bring his horse to the bar and buy everyone drinks until the horse was completely sold. Another time, instead of staying home with his wife – he drove 11 miles through a massive snow storm so he could buy his fill of whiskey.  One time, when his son was 2 years old – this alcoholic came home from a ten day drinking binge to find his son dead in his mother’s arm.  At the funeral, his wife insisted he promise never to drink again.  Two hours after his vow, he came home staggering drunk.  Could Christ save a man like this?
